Positive Approaches to Managing Challenging Behavior 

                               

 

 Course Description: 

Many educators in early childhood programs list concerns about challenging behavior among their greatest struggles in their work.  According to recent research in state-subsidized early education programs, 6.67 preschoolers are expelled per 1,000 enrolled. Although this rate is lower than what has been reported in previous years, the prekindergarten expulsion rate is 3.2 times the rate for K-12 students, indicating early educators need resources and support to address the needs of many children. Yet Early childhood education programs have a unique opportunity to support children in their social-emotional development, to provide a positive and supportive environment that encourages pro-social behavior, and to give young children the chance to begin their school years with the tools to be successful learners.  In this session, participants will reflect on personal experiences with managing challenging behavior, discuss social-emotional development of young children, and learn about and plan innovative ways to support pro-social development in their learning environments.

As a result of this training, early childhood educators will be able to plan and implement curriculum based on their knowledge and review of child development, particularly social-emotional development. The concept that children have diverse learning needs and styles will be embedded throughout the course. Educators will learn about innovative and proactive ways to approach behavior management in young children, and apply their knowledge to their work.
